Garlic Parmesan Wings!

The best meal ever on Keto is chicken wings. High fat, High protein and HIGH TASTE! This recipe has been a winner for me to get crispy perfect wings at home. I do not own an air fryer, but I am sure you could make it work. These are baked in the oven to perfection with butter, garlic, oil and parm to coat the finished wings. Bellisima! This recipe is from the website: Joyfulhealthyeats.com

Ingredients:

2 lbs. of chicken (mixture of wings and drumettes)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

3 tablespoons olive oil

3 garlic cloves, minced

4 tablespoons parmesan cheese (or Pecorino Romano - also yummy!)

1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika

salt & pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 400.

Add chicken to a large bowl.

Pat chicken dry.

Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil,

1 teaspoon of sea salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

Gently toss to coat all the chicken.

Place chicken on a wire rack lined baking sheet.

Bake for 40 minutes, flipping the chicken after 20 minutes.

Turn the Broiler on to HIGH.

Place chicken under broiler for 8-10 minutes, until browned.

In the meantime, heat a medium sauce pan to medium heat.

Add butter and 3 tablespoons of olive oil to the pan.

Melt the butter down.

Once butter is melted add the garlic to the pan.

Let cook in the liquid for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant.

Next add in 2 tablespoons of cheese, smoked paprika, salt, & pepper to taste.

Stir to combine.

Let the sauce cook for another 2 minutes.

Remove chicken from oven.

Place in a large bowl,

Pour the garlic parmesan sauce over the chicken wings.

Using a pair of tongs, toss the wings to coat all of them with the sauce.

(I add a little extra cheese once plated... the more cheese the better!)

These pair pretty amazingly with Blue Cheese dressing if I do say so myself! Enjoy!
